Near Enfidaville, 5 NZ Infantry Brigade, of which the Māori Battalion was a part, found in its path a 180-m high rock fortress called Takrouna which was held by the enemy. Like Point 209, the Māori Battalion takes a significant role in taking Takrouna especially a group of B Company men. Read the war diary for April 1943 here
